As one of North America’s largest and longest-st

As one of North America’s largest and longest-standing conservation organizations, we have many stories we'd like to share highlighting our 85 years of work.

Today, we'd like to share David McLachlin's story with you—a biologist whose career in conserving waterfowl habitat with DUC spans 35 years. 🦆

“Once I started with Ducks, I never wanted to work anywhere else,” says McLachlin. “It has not been a job, it has been a lifelong career, a lifestyle and a lifetime of experiences.”

Spring is here 🌷 which means our favourite migratory bird species have started to stretch their wings and make the journey back to their northern ranges! 🦆

With so many wonderful and fascinating bird species to be seen, you may be wondering: when is the best time to spot them?

According to Paula Grieef, resident naturalist at the Harry J. Enns Wetland Discovery Centre at @oakhammockmarsh, one of the best times of day for birding is the first hour or two after sunrise. ☀️

If you spot your favourite species, share your observations with us in the #DUCmigrationtracker community science project on @inaturalistorg!

The wood duck 🦆 is considered by many to be the most beautiful of North American waterfowl.

The breeding male has an iridescent green and white crested head, red eyes, a red and white bill, a chestnut breast, golden flanks and an iridescent back. These vibrant markings are what make them a fan favourite of waterfowlers and wildlife photographers alike.

Do you have a favourite photo from a wood duck spotting you'd like to share with us? 📷 Post it to your story and tag us so we can see!

Hummingbirds are a sight to behold—and spotting

Hummingbirds are a sight to behold—and spotting the ruby-throated hummingbird is particularly special.

Known for its remarkable annual migration flight across the Gulf of Mexico and north to Canada, the ruby-throated hummingbird is small, but mighty!

Have you ever had the pleasure to spot this quick and vibrant species? Let us know in the comments below! ⬇️

At Ducks Unlimited Canada, our work focuses on nature-based solutions to floods, droughts, water pollution and the impacts of climate change, for the benefit of all waterfowl, wildlife and people. 🦆

Our planet will always have water, but if we don’t take care of it, it won’t always be safe. Clean water starts with healthy wetlands—and we’ve been leading the way in wetland conservation and research for more than 80 years.

As noted by DUC President, Roger d'Eschambault, “The best tool in our fight to save nature is nature itself." Learn more about what can be done to safeguard our water resources at the link in our bio! 💧

Today marks World Water Day—and because water affects us all, we feel it's important to talk about what we can all do to safeguard our water.

In Canada, we're fortunate to have an abundance of natural spaces to enjoy and species to connect with—which includes our freshwater resources. 🛶🦆 We're used to a safe and reliable water supply, but chronic issues are plaguing our water and making our lakes sick. We can no longer take it for granted.

If we value our water resources, our work to save them begins with healthy wetlands. By working together to promote wetland conservation, we can save our water. 🌊

Today marks the International Day of Forests and the theme this year focuses on healthy forests for healthy people—which we think is the perfect opportunity to highlight the boreal forest and how we all benefit from it and its network of wetlands!

So many aspects of our lives are linked to forests, but we often don't make the connection—like our health, clean water and fresh air, medicine, food and shelter.

Few wild places remain on Earth like Canada’s boreal forest—a 1.3 billion-acre landscape defined by water and wildlife. It's home to over 600 Indigenous communities, buffers against the impacts of climate change, provides essential habitat to wildlife and supports the wellbeing of all people.

Sunshine glitters from the waters of the nearby wetland. A prairie breeze carries the scent of native plants and warm soil. A row of recently hatched goslings wanders by, led by their ever-vigilant parents. Songbirds twitter from distant cattail stands. Welcome to Oak Hammock Marsh. ☀️🌾🦆

As we reflect on 85 years of Ducks Unlimited Canada, we have many stories we'd like to share with you—and the story of Oak Hammock Marsh is a special one. It's home to our national head office, but most importantly, @oakhammockmarsh is a designated Ramsar Wetland of International Importance, the site of an Important Bird Area and home to the Harry J. Enns Wetlands Discovery Centre.

Spring is almost here, which means the skies will soon be filled with birds migrating back to their northern ranges—including the western boreal forest. 🌲

The boreal forest is a 1.3 billion-acre landscape defined by water and wildlife that stretches across Canada from Newfoundland and Labrador to Yukon. It is one of the most important waterfowl conservation regions in North America—providing essential habitat for over 300 species of birds, as well as thousands of other species of native plants and wildlife. 🦆
